They've already made an oversized Anglepoise, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before someone thought of shrinking it too. That's the case with this Tiny Tim book light.
When it says tiny, it means tiny: the lamp is designed to clip onto a book to help you read. Otherwise it's a pretty good similarity – complete with adjustable head and arm so you can get your spotlight just where you want it.
Available in either black or red, this book light costs £10.

The childhood nostalgia of Disney’s Bambi is perfectly captured in this kitsch but cute Egmont Fawn Lamp from Bodie and Fou.
Perfect as a nighlight in a child's room, the lamp gives off a warm caramel glow to provide reassurance to little ones if they wake in the night. Those wide, innocent eyes and big ears give the little fawn lots of character and make it as appealing to style conscience parents as it is to kids.
The lamp is made of plastic and measures 40 x 17 x 36cm. It has an easy to use switch suitable for little fingers. It costs £94.99 from Bodie and Fou here.
A Danish classic from 1967 is back on the market, specifically the Gubi Semi pendant light by Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup.
An award-winning design back on the day, the lamp still looks futuristic today, as well as still being very practical – the shape of the enamelled metal shade and the silver light bulb within combine to 'give the light a unique spread in the room'.
Supplied with a black ceiling rose and two metres of black fabric covered flex, it's available in various colours and in two sizes, prices starting at £169.
Who needs a chandelier when you can pick up this cascading chrome light fitting on eBay for a song.
The seller doesn't give much away, simply that he/she picked it up from an antique shop 10 years back. It is apparently 'original' though and almost certainly from the 1970s, with five lights at varying lengths off the same circuit.
It 'works' and still has all five bulbs with it. For a 70s-style home, it will look stunning – and right now it's at £9.99.

We've featured a Kaiser Idell table lamp before, but here's another imposing piece of twentieth century design, the 6556-super floor lamp.
Like the table lamp, it was designed by Christian Dell, an industrial designer at the Bauhaus and first produced back in the 1930s. It also shares that lamp's classic modernist good looks and is made from steel and brass. Take your pick from a black or white version.
The lamp costs £614.

Not the first time we've featured the design, as the Sorella table lamp by Harvey Guzzini has been something of a space age holy grail in the past. Not so anymore, as Nemo has bought the rights to this classic 1970s lamp and is selling official reissues right now.
Which essentially means much the same lamp for a fraction of the cost – these angled lamps tended to go for hundreds on eBay on good condition. If you aren't familiar with the Sorella, you don't watch enough old films and TV – this 1972 'Studio Tecnico Harvey' design featured prominently in the likes of Space 1999 and James Bond's Moonraker and still retains that futuristic look today.
Best of all with the new ones is the colour, no age discolouration here and of course, all the electrics will be checked and ready to go. Not too many sellers around in the UK, but Glasgow-based Spatial Lighting are official Nemo dealers and have stock of the new light right now, which they are selling at a fixed price online via eBay. A little cheaper than most too at £120. See the lamp 'in action' in Space 1999 over the page.
